After the patch is assessed, tested, and approved, you can signify the status by selecting Release for Implementation, and typing the effective release date. This approach allows you to use your own testing process, or you can use the default workflow definition, and then record that information to support the following aspects of the patch management process.

When testing a patch, you should test it in all sample environments where you use vendor products that could be affected by the patch. When you release a patch for implementation, the views show the patch as released regardless of whether it was tested with all the vendor products on the computer in the view.

If the administrator implemented the default workflow definitions, once the patch is released, you can then create a workflow case to implement the patch, or you can create a mitigation plan to eliminate the threat if implementation is not possible.

To release a patch:

  1. Display the Assessment window for the patch you want to test. For more information, see Viewing a Filtered List of Patches and Assessment Information.

  2. Test the patch to make sure it can be implemented without impacting existing systems. For more information, see Testing a Patch.

  3. On the Assessment window, check the Release for Implementation check box, and specify the Release Date.
